Summary "Although a textbook in general psychology is necessary to acquaint the student with the concepts, the vocabulary, and the over-all framework of the field, the student frequently wants more than a textbook can provide. He is not content to learn about psychology, he wants to come to grips with the subject itself, he wants to learn psychology. To do that he must turn to Cattell, to Galton, to Freud, to Thorndike, and to the other authors whose writings are represented in this volume. I believe the student will enjoy reading these writings in the original. I hope he will learn that for an understanding of the "great books" or of the "classical experiments" in psychology he should turn directly to these books and these experiments. In general the best thinkers and the best experimenters are also excellent writers. In addition, there is a vigor and freshness in original work which stimulates and challenges. I feel that these readings are suitable as an accompaniment for any general introduction to psychology. The sequence in which the chapters are presented in this volume is primarily a historical one: the first topics to be investigated in psychology were the senses, the most recent ones have been social behavior and personality. Other topics are intermediate. The basic and least technical contributions in any field usually appear early in the development of the field. For this reason most of the studies of the senses which are included in this volume are necessarily old"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2007 APA, all rights reserved).
